Qin Qiong left, the courtyard of the Zhou Guogong Mansion quieted down, and the people in the mansion knew that Li Xuanba didn't like to make noise, so when they were busy, they tried not to make a sound. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The smile on Li Xuanba's face had disappeared, and his previous relaxed expression had also turned into a frown, his eyes were dull looking ahead, and he sighed from time to time.

Yang Ling and Shizuka walked up to Li Xuanba lightly and followed Li Xuanba's gaze, but they didn't find anything special.

"Some trees are starting to wither, while others are still green." Although Yang Ling and Shizuka's movements were very light, Li Xuanba still felt their arrival: "Ling'er, Shizuka, do you think that when the spring begins next year, those dry trees will grow new branches, and the trees and flowers around them, can you realize that they have changed?" ”

Li Xuanba's tone was very serious, without the slightest joking, Yang Ling and Shizuka glanced at each other, and saw deep worry in each other's eyes.

"Plants and trees are ruthless, how can they understand the changes of all things in the world?" Yang Ling sat on Li Xuanba's left hand side and said softly: "Husband, if you have any troubles, you might as well tell your concubine and sister Shizuka." "Even Qin Qiong can see that Li Xuanba has something on his mind, let alone Yang Ling, who is as careful as dust?

Shizuka sat obediently on the other side of Li Xuanba, her eyes like water.

Li Xuanba was silent for a long time, and suddenly said: "I am very aggrieved, from beginning to end, I never thought of coveting His Majesty's throne, but many people don't believe me. ”

Yang Ling thought that Li Xuanba did not hesitate to let Yang Tong withdraw his title in order to ease the vigilance of some people, and he felt a pain in his heart and comforted: "Husband, you should know that at least Your Majesty trusts you, and there are many people in the Manchu Dynasty who believe in you." ”

"But the eldest princess never wanted to believe me, did she?" Li Xuanba smiled bitterly, turned his head, looked at Yang Ling and said, "Although I have never met her, I dare to conclude that she is an extremely intelligent woman. As smart as she is, she should know that joining forces with the imperial court can easily eliminate the Tang Dynasty. ”

knew but didn't do it, which means that Princess Yicheng is not willing.

Yang Tong is a descendant of the royal family, and Princess Yicheng has no reason to be prejudiced against him, so the only reason why Princess Yicheng does not plan to join forces with Nan Sui can only be because of Li Xuanba's existence.

"Husband, if you stand in your aunt's shoes, how will you choose?" Yang Ling asked rhetorically.

"Maybe my choice is the same as hers." Li Xuanba replied without hesitation, obviously thinking about this question seriously: "Your Majesty is too benevolent, with a powerful minister like me by his side, it is difficult for anyone to feel at ease, not to mention that I am still his son." ”

"In that case, why should the husband be sad because of this?" Shizuka doesn't know much, but she knows that Li Xuanba has been in a very bad mood recently. She had no way to share his worries, and she had been blaming herself for this matter, but now that she heard the conversation between Li Xuanba and Yang Ling, she understood a little more.

"I'm not depressed because of the eldest princess." Li Xuanba shook his head and said softly: "Brother Wuji once asked me how well I know my father, at that time, the Tang Dynasty had just captured Chang'an, and I replied that my father raised troops but didn't want to see the lives of the people ruined. ”

When Li Yuan was mentioned, Yang Ling's face changed significantly, but she quickly covered up the past, although Shizuka had been a maidservant in the Tang State Mansion, but Li Yuan was away all the year round, and she didn't know what Li Yuan was like.

"Now that I think about it, when my father raised the army, did he really have no selfish intentions?" Without waiting for Yang Ling and Shizuka to answer, Li Xuanba continued: "The grass and trees are ruthless, but the people are different, maybe the eldest princess saw what her father did, so she didn't trust me so much." ”

When Li Yuan raised his army, under the banner of Kuang Fu Sheji and eradicating traitors, he waved his army westward and went straight to Chang'an, collecting robbers from all sides on the road, where does this look like Kuang Fu Sheji?

People are like this, once you are suspicious of someone, there will be countless questions, although Li Yuan is Li Xuanba's biological father, Li Xuanba can't help but recall all kinds of past.

In Li Xuanba's memory, Li Yuan was not as cowardly and incompetent as in later history, on the contrary, he had an extremely strong ability to judge the situation. Moreover, when Wagang was strong, Li Yuan put down his body and called himself a younger brother in his correspondence with Li Mi, which shows that Li Yuan is very good at forbearance.

When the Turks attacked Taiyuan, Li Shimin secretly made a deal with the Turks, and Li Yuan really didn't know about it?

Li Jiancheng, Li Yuanji and others almost died in Dongjun, and the people behind it are not difficult to guess, why did Li Yuan ignore this matter?

Li Xuanba borrowed troops from Taiyuan, and Li Yuan generously transferred tens of thousands of troops, is it really Li Yuan who cares about the relationship between father and son? Or did he want to dispel the court's concerns through this move?

Xu Shiji had surrendered to Southern Sui, but Li Shimin still led the army to attack him, and also took the two counties of Southern Sui, and he has not given any explanation so far. Who would believe that Li Yuan would not know anything about such a big matter as Xu Shiji's surrender to the Southern Sui Imperial Court?

"Whatever he does, you're not him after all, are you?" For Yang Ling, it was difficult for him to call Li Yuan his father, she endured the grief in her heart, showed a smile that made the flowers and plants in the garden discolored, and said softly: "You once said that Lu Yao knows horsepower, and he will see people's hearts over time, my aunt doesn't believe you now, but one day she will understand." ”

"As you say, Your Majesty trusts me, and that's enough for me." Li Xuanba let out a long sigh of relief, and suddenly felt a lot more relaxed: "What I'm worried about now is whether the eldest princess can really defeat the Tang Dynasty, and besides, even if the eldest princess wins, can the eldest princess restrain what the Turkic army has done in the Central Plains." ”

The Tang Dynasty eliminated Qin and Northern Sui one after another, and thanks to Li Xuanba's destruction of Louluo, dozens of counties were added out of thin air. Princess Yicheng wants to use Liu Wuzhou's hand to destroy the Tang Dynasty, which is simply a fool's dream.

It is precisely because of these suspicions that Li Xuanba suspects that Princess Yicheng wants to induce Nan Sui to send troops!

Li Xuanba hoped that he had guessed wrong, but he was worried that he had guessed wrong.

If Princess Yicheng really hates the Tang Dynasty, then the army that enters Taiyuan is very likely to be the front army of the Turks, and perhaps when the Turks are more stable, the real heroes of the Turks will set foot in the Central Plains.

According to past experience, every time the Turks enter the Central Plains, countless Central Plains people will return to the West Heaven and their wives will be separated, so Li Xuanba is very worried that Princess Yicheng will go crazy because of her desire for revenge, after all, according to the news sent back by the hidden guard, Princess Yicheng has gone crazy.

Shizuka heard that the Turkic army might be heading south, and when she thought of those scenes of human purgatory, her face instantly turned much paler.

"Husband, have you forgotten that the Empress Dowager is by the eldest princess's side!" The three of them were silent at the same time, and Shizuka suddenly remembered that Empress Xiao was received by Princess Yicheng to the Turks, and hurriedly said: "The Empress Dowager cherishes the people and will definitely persuade the eldest princess." ”

When Li Xuanba and Yang Ling heard this, they glanced at each other, and at the same time showed a wry smile. (To be continued.) )
